Premier League Everton vs Arsenal in Goodison Park showdown

Premier League Everton vs Arsenal in Goodison Park showdown - Prediksi Everton vs Arsenal 06 April 2014 - Prediksi Everton vs Arsenal - Bursa taruhan Everton vs Arsenal - Liga Inggris Everton vs Arsenal - The Toffees are the form team of the two, winning their last four Premier League games to move within four points of the Gunners who they also have a game in hand over.

Roberto Martinez's side have suffered just one home defeat in all competitions this season and a win in front of the Sky cameras, for the second week in a row, would give a huge boost to their hopes of securing a top-four finish for the first time since the 2004/05 campaign.

Everton have not tasted victory against the north London side since March 2007 and they were well-beaten at the Emirates Stadium four weeks ago, with Arsenal winning 4-1 in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Arsene Wenger has seen his side's title challenge falter somewhat in recent weeks, winning just one of their last five league outings to make securing a top-four finish their immediate priority.

The Gunners have won just once in their last five league games on the road, but they do boast a good record at Goodison and are unbeaten in their previous six trips there.

An away win would keep their slim hopes alive of finishing anything higher than fourth this campaign, but only Everton's Merseyside rivals, Liverpool, stand above the hosts in the Premier League form table. Prediksi West Ham vs Liverpool

Aside from last month's FA Cup clash, the two sides contested a 1-1 draw at the Emirates back in December, with Gerard Deulofeu's late strike cancelling out an opener from Mesut Ozil, who also netted in the cup tie.

Paul Merson's prediction:

Everton are four points behind Arsenal with a game in hand and, in my opinion, if Arsenal avoid defeat in this game, then they will finish fourth and they can go and concentrate on the FA Cup. If they lose this game then by the time they play their next league match they could be fifth - and that would be psychologically damaging - especially when Everton are flying.

I still think Arsenal will finish fourth because they have better fixtures than Everton, but this will be a hard game for them. They can't afford to lose it and I think they will get a draw - but Everton will know that this is their chance.
